Sustainability News & Events

The Acadia Sustainability Office developed a new waste management guide for students living off-campus.  For many students managing waste in off-campus housing can be confusing. This new guide has information for renters, a sorting guide, tips for moving, FAQs, local contacts and more. Visit the Waste Management webpage for the guide and other useful information.

The Acadia Dump & Run event is cancelled for 2021 due to ongoing health policies and restrictions because of COVID-19. There are many online and local options for sale or recycling of usable items including Kijiji, Facebook Marketplace, Afterwear, Flowercart, Value Village, and the SPCA Thrift Store. Please also consider the Wolfville Area Food Bank for donations of unopened, non-perishable food and other items, such as toiletries. Contact local organizations in advance to confirm  donation policies and procedures. Thank you for your continued understanding as we work to keep our campus and community safe.

Earlier this year Acadia received a grant from the World Wildlife Fund Living Planet program to expand its recycling efforts on campus.
